The Parable of the Talents teaches that God entrusts every believer with unique gifts, abilities, and resources according to His wisdom. These gifts are not marks of personal value but tools for faithful service in His kingdom. God will one day ask each of us, “What did you do with what I gave you?” The faithful servants immediately invested and multiplied what they were given, demonstrating urgency and obedience. In contrast, the servant who buried his talent acted with laziness and in fear, and was judged unfaithful. Jesus calls us to steward our gifts with faith and diligence, using them to serve Him and others. Faithfulness now leads to reward and joy in His presence.
